Islamic Cultural Centre, Markaz, Iwo in Osun State, has organised a special prayer for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
The prayer, alongside the Quran graduation ceremony, was held at the weekend during which several clerics prayed for Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
The national president of the Sharia Council of Nigeria, Shaykh Hadiyatullah Abdulrasheed and other top Muslim scholars attended the prayer session.
The manager and Chief Imam of Al-markaz Al-Islamiy Al-thaqofy, Khalifa Mudeer Qasim Abdulrahman, said: “Since Tinubu is our reliable man, he deserves our support as Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) enjoins us to love our brothers as we love ourselves”
A renowned Islamic scholar, Shaykh Wazeer Adekilekun, who delivered a lecture during the event, charged Nigerians to pray for peaceful elections and a smooth transition next year.
He said: “Prayer is essential for any laudable project that one may undertake in life, especially for those who believe in the efficacy of prayers, definitely prayer is better than a curse.”
A traditional ruler in the state, Oba Abdul Azeez Olatunbosun, the Akire of Ikire-Ile Kingdom, also prayed for Tinubu.
